Interstellar (non-carbon based) life will go straight for the nearest suitable (stable) black hole to setup a kugelblitz as it is the most efficient, which we might get (un?)lucky enough to detect with the JWT depending on how good the infrared emissions are managed + distance.

- phkahler 5y agoWhat if that's what subatomic particles actually are?
- s1artibartfast 5y agoI don't understand what you are implying. After looking it up, a kugelblitz is a type of black hold. What does it mean to go to a black hole to set up a black hole?

Please note this page is about a decade old, many links do not work; mentions making a solar array with the area of Arizona for bootstrapping, but a Starshot approach with 3 satellites around the "natural" black hole for the first ergosphere superradiant scattering pump would be less work assuming a candidate is relatively close.
